Direct Lift Pro Park 8S

Tested To USA Industry Standards:
Greg Smith Equipment is proud to announce the arrival of the new Direct Lift PP-8S (Standard) four post hobbyist lift. The new Direct Lift PP-8S now carries an Industry tested lifting capacity of 8,000 lbs. This new rating of 8,000 lbs. is a direct result of three months of extensive testing.
Most of our competitors do not TEST their lifts to USA Industry standards. Many of our competitors just publish what they believe is an approximate weight lifting capacity” based upon what other lift distributors are advertising. Many times the Chinese manufacturers overrate their lifts to gain market share in other countries. The Chinese testing standards and the USA testing standards are NOT the same!
We still get a big chuckle when we see one of our competitors advertising a 10,000 lb. four post hobbyist lift for $1995; and it IS SMALLER than our 8,000 LB. PP-8 S (Standard). Lifting a car or truck is serious business. Call the Lift Professionals at Greg Smith Equipment.
How Do I Get My Stuff Off The Truck?:
Many customers do not have access to loading docks and forklifts. We have assembled some photos of our products being unloaded with and without the aid of a forklift. Many of our freight carriers have power tailgates on their delivery trucks. There may be an extra charge for the power tailgate, depending on the carrier. The power tailgate is normally rated at 1000 LB. capacity. This is not enough capacity to unload most of our lifts. However, when used properly (and safely), the power tailgate (in conjunction with some common sense) allows the customer to off load many of our products without the use of a forklift.
Most truck shipments will be delivered by a commercial freight carrier operating a tractor/trailer rig. The semi trailer will be enclosed. Most commercial carriers have smaller straight trucks and some have small flatbed trucks, but the majority of freight companies will not use these smaller trucks for your delivery. Greg Smith Equipment cannot guarantee the type of truck that will be used for delivery. You should assume that your product will be delivered on a tractor/trailer rig that uses a 53 foot enclosed trailer. This is a VERY LONG rig. It is the truck driver's responsibility to make sure that your product is brought to the back of the delivery truck. It is the customer's responsibility to unload the product from the truck.
Lock Ladder Column Design:
The new Direct Lift Pro Park 8S has the same lock ladder” column design system as the Pro Park 8 Plus, Pro Park 9 Plus, and Atlas 14K. We believe that the lock ladder system is the safest locking system for any four post lift. The lock ladder system also provides an infinite number of runway locking positions. The old-style” welded locks could not be adjusted. The lock ladder is adjustable inside the column so that our customers can micro-manage” the correct runway height to accommodate any vehicle. The lock ladder” column system is the same column system found on professional grade lifts found in car dealerships and automotive service centers.
Double Lock Safety System:
This Pro Park 8S locking system offers a unique two position locking mechanism found only in commercial grade cable style four post lifts. The DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM is found exclusively on the Direct Lift Pro Park 8S, Direct Lift Pro Park 8 Plus, Direct Lift Pro Park 9 Plus, and the Atlas Pro 14K.
The Direct Lift Pro Park 8S incorporates the unique DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM into each of its four oversized columns. The DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM is designed to ensure that if a lifting cable becomes slack (for any reason), the secondary locking mechanism automatically engages. This DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM is found only on other four post above ground lifts costing hundreds of dollars more than the Direct Lift Pro Park 8S.
Flow Restrictor:
Greg Smith Equipment is proud to announce that many of our two post and four post lifts manufactured in our off shore factory (after 08-01-07) have flow restrictor valves installed in the hydraulic system. Some lifts do not require a flow restrictor.
